I finally shipped a Chinese learning app I wanted for myself for ages at https://wenmoji.com/ . Just never had enough time to sit down and code it end to end. Still need some impro…

Top 5 I have replayed over and over so far: - XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within - XCOM2 (probably more replayed than the first one) - Prison Architect - Frostpunk (the first one, didn't g…

Sure, I'll reach out

Have used it for a smaller project for a bit now and I really like it as well. Concise code and I can still map it to actual SQL in my brain. What has been a bit non-intuitive for …

I kind of agree. Even now there are tons of third-parties dealing with the authentication for you, you will still have to write code to actually integrate with them and hook this u…

Pretty much binge listened to these this year: - Startups for the Rest of Us ( https://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/ ): Great podcast for any aspiring entrepreneur and bootstrapp…

> Which language if I may ask? Mandarin Chinese. I taught myself the basics (and a bit beyond) quite a while ago, but I am unhappy with either always having to start from scratch w…

Nice. I am exploring something very similar, but for a different language. I am curious if you considered making this a business (as in paid features/subscription based) and if not…

Instead of focusing on a "cool" product, try to focus on companies/products which are solving meaningful or interesting problems (subjective to what you find meaningful and interes…

It depends actually what is your purpose. If you intend to learn about stock trading for personal finance reasons you can follow a lot of blogs or podcasts in the FIRE (Financial I…

There are some breaking features from added in 3.7 which were not in the language in 3.7. Meaning code written for the newer Python 3 version might not work with the older Python 3…

I am a Software Engineer at Wattcost ( https://www.wattcost.com/ ), which creates a device and platform to read your energy consumption (even with older meters) and act on it. Even…

First time around it was a very small one-man operation (just me). I think my main problem at that time was that I lost track of what I wanted to build because I fell in love with …

The talk died down because it became a standard way of doing things now. It isn't something special anymore and the tooling has evolved to make it more seamless.

I am or actually was in a similar situation as you. I grew tired of developing software just for the sake to earn money (selling things, improving conversion rates, booking systems…

I find it actually slowed down in recent years. Things finally seem to settle around the React ecosystem (yes yes, Vue has more stars). I also think there are way more projects whi…

I think this is the beauty of this approach as well (vs actively teaching skills). If somebody does not work out, you will know pretty early based on how they approach the learning…

Understand, but I think the intensity matters here. If you are mentoring a junior developer and he asks you questions about every little detail (instead of working through some doc…

That's why it "might" be :) I think in the HN community this is probably common sense.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I would expect that each newly hired developer (be it junior, mid-level, senior) can and will take time to do train and improve him/herself.…
